061878P.pdf   08/29/2006  Deborah Alice Neal  v.  Kansas City Star
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1878
   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Heaney and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy court clearly erred in finding that
   the names of attorneys who made improper loans to debtor, a state judge
   later disciplined for her conduct, were subject to sealing under the
   "scandalous" prong of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 107(b)(2); the unintended, potential
   secondary consequence of negative publicity to the attorney creditors,
   while regrettable, is not a basis for sealing the file; creditor list is 
   not a governmental matter made confidential by statute or regulation and
   is not sealable under Rule 9018.
